Introduction 





GREETings, Festival Folkies: 


Here we are again in our sophomore year with 
another great Festival for you! 

In spite of many setbacks, our staff and vol- 
unteers(over 350 of them) have persevered, firmly 
believing that wholesome family entertainment, 
featuring the music of the people, should be kept 
alive in Edmonton. Having made such a fine debut 
last summer, we had little choice but to continue 
this year. 

Edmonton's Parks and Recreation Department 
has provided us with another beautiful site for 
the Festival and we are grateful for their con- 
tinuing support. Also we extend an expression 
of thanks to the citizens of Cloverdale for their 
co-operation in making Gallagher Park accessible 
for our use. 

It is our intention to grow and change the 
Festival from year to year. This year we are 
highlighting the role of the singer-songwriter 
in comtemporary folk music. To this end we have 
included some of the best in the business in our 
line-up. Look for their variety programs on Stage 
#2. Another feature will be "The Tent", an area 
where beginners, amateurs, and others may have an 
opportunity to learn techniques and skills in per- 
forming folk music. 


Again this year we have a great children's 
entertainment and play program. A strong repre- 
sentation by local and regional crafts people as 
well as a palate-tempting food concession area 
rounds out our bill of fare for you. 

We are pleased to be a part of Summerfest '81. 
We believe that Edmonton is ready to accept a strong 
summer performing arts festival and will patronize 
it. The concept is praiseworthy, viz: bringing 
performers of international acclaim to our city, 
showcasing our best local artists and stimulating 
those who will someday take their place among the 
great performers in the field. And for you, the 
Festival patron - an opportunity to enjoy the best 
possible entertainment in folk music offered any- 
where. 

On behalf of our staff, volunteers, and com- 
munity resource people, I thank you for your sup- 
port. Come and Enjoy!

During 1980, Alberta's Anniversary year, the Festival 

of the Arts started an exciting movement in the province. 
It is very gratifying to me to see that events which 
started as a result of the 75th Anniversary: celebrations, 
have been seen as an important part of our cultural 


life, and are becoming annual events. 


One such event is the Edmonton Folk Festival. Folk, music 
is a particularly important part of the history and 
culture of Canada, and its appreciation should be 
developed and encouraged. This festival does much to 


achieve this goal. 


On behalf of the Province of Alberta, I would like to 


take this opportunity to extend my very best wishes to the 
Second Annual’ Edmonton Folk Festival. 3 


Yours sincerely,

VOLUNTEERS 


by Tom Elsworthy(Edmonton Sun, 


We have all heard entertainers from time to time 
say that without the audience, there just wouldn't be 
any show. 


Well, for Edmonton Folk Music Festival Artistic 
Director, Don Whalen, that same statement could be 
applied to the many volunteers who work on many dif- 
ferent jobs during the festival. For without their / 
energy and common spirit of goodwill, such an outdoor 
undertaking would be a duller place to be. 


Yes, the 325-plus people who have donated their 
time and services for three days in August, are just 
as important to the operation of a folk festival as 
its directors and performers. 


If you look about you in Gallagher Park, you should 
take some relief in knowing that everywhere on the park 
grounds, a volunteer is helping things run smoothly. 


At the gates, in the children's area, at the craft 
centre, around the stage, in the kitchen, at the bike 
lock-up, why even the garbage you may have forgotten 
to deposit in a container is within reach of a volun- 
teer's pick-up stick. 


For a festival site is a bit like an Ashram. 
Just as spiritual volunteers there spend countless 
hours maintaining their temple of worship, so at a 
Folk Festival do a wide variety of crews keep busy 
making sure that Gallagher Park is a better place to 
spend a day. 


For people like Agnes Brennan, the festival rep- 
resents a chance for the whole family to become involved. 
"Last year my son Blair and I volunteered...and there 
was little else that my husband, Jim could do but join 


NEw 


Back again this year, the Brennans may not see 
as much of each other until the end of the day when 
they return home. Jim works Security, Agnes is in 
the Box Office, and Blair goes for it as a Schlepper. 
And if you are thinking of trying to jump over 
a fence, keep in mind that of the 48 people on Secur- 
ity, 29 are members of the Tomahawks Lacrosse team. 
If there is anyone who likes to be chased down--here's 
your big chance. I'm not sure whether they will scalp 
you or what, but be forewarned. ; 


Volunteer Co-ordinator, Deirdre Swan, has divided 
the volunteers into 22 different crews, each with its 
own co-ordinator. 


That may seem like a lot of. people for such an 
enterprise, but when you start going over who is do- 
ing what, it all adds up. Three hospitality crews 
will attend to the performers, one crew at the airport, 
another at the hotel, and another on the site. 


If you are a-bicycle you're in luck. Eight people 


will help lock you up safely. | 


If you're an instrument, 


eleven volunteers will make sure you don't get damaged 
and can be found at the right time. And if you need 
any first aid attention, nine qualified helpers are 


standing by. 


Why do volunteers do it? Simple. It's fun to help, 
to catch a little of the folk music for free, plus meet 
a lot of interesting people who, like you, are not a- 
fraid of generating enthusiasm for a good cause.

Every year, someone 
forecasts the 
“death of folk music: 









“DEATH” OF 
. FOLK MUSIC 


«<THE LIVELY 





Wi U 
\\ 





And every year, there are 

more and more festivals like 

this one, with more and more 

people discovering there 

is a far wider, far 

more challenging, 

far more 

entertaining range 

of music than you'll 

ever hear on the radio. 
Sure, folk music 

has changed — and 

at this festival we're all 

celebrating new and more 

contemporary music, as well 

as the traditions of the past. 

CAPAC, as always, supports 
this festival with enthusiasm. 
We're an association of composers, 
lyricists and music publishers, and 
our members created much of the 
music you're hearing. 

Our main job is seeing that our 
members get paid for the public 
performance of their music — and last 
year, we distributed more than $8 
million, from Canada and around the 
world, to our 10,000-plus membership. 

So, if you write music — or know 
someone who does — it pays off to 
know more about CAPAC. Finding 
out more is easy — all you have to do 
is write or call any of CAPAC’s three 
offices. They're ready to help you, and 
your musical career. 

Meanwhile, who said folk music was 
dead?

Shiatsu 





Backstage at this Festival, it is interesting to 
note that there are some people giving Shiatsu to per- 
formers and crews all day. Shiatsu?...it is a phen- 
omenon that is becoming known in Edmonton due in part 
to the effort of Catherine Jackson, who explains Shiat- 
su as "traditional Japanese acupressure that releases 
blocked energy, allowing the body to revitalize itself." 


These treatments consist of pressing firmly along 
the energy meridians of the body. Following the same 
paths as do acupuncture charts, these paths connect 
with the nerve centres, organs, and glands. Shiatsu 
sends rejuvenating zaps of energy along these channels. 
Shiatsu can heal a long list of symptoms--headache, 
migraine, fatigue, sore muscles, sinus, hypertension, 
digestion disorders, breathing difficulties, backache, 
sciatica, cramps, and the blues, to mention a few. 





A complete Shiatsu can take 1 hours using slow, 
deep pressure, for the most healing treatment. This 
slows down the metabolism for complete rest...the ef- 
fects can be felt for days. The quicker Shiatsu can 
take 4% hour using light, fast pressure and is best for 
quick energy. This is the Shiatsu given most often 
to the folkies here at the Festival.

giving refreshing treatments in exchange for all the 
-music she can take! She also gives workshops across 
Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. In these 
seminars, Catherine spends much of the time talking 
about nutrition. Using the principles of YIN and YANG, 
she explains how foods can be balanced so that each 
person can discover for him/herself what foods are best 
suited to each individual's activities, climate, in- 
herited body type, and condition of health. Cather- 
ine's goal with these classes on Shiatsu and nutrition ¢ 
is to encourage people to learn how to maintain their 
own health.

Catherine says that giving Shiatsu gives her bound-

ival, you'll find her enjoying the evening concert 
"hovering several feet above the ground with a big 


smile on my face". Zl

SORRY BUT YOUR CHEQUE WAS IN THE MAIL! 





by Graham Hicks(Freelance writer) 


There are certain images that linger on in the 
public eye - preconceptions about musicians and ‘'folk- 
singers' that won't go away. 


One favorite is the down-and-out artist. We see 
him on a night train(l10 hours late) from North Battle- 
ford to Yorkton, in the day coach, battered cowboy hat 
pulled down over his eyes, a two-day stubble, and the 
trusty Gibson by his side. For the sake of his art, 
he lives on $10 a day, a steady diet of canned beans 
- all for the magic of the one or two songs a night 
that might awaken his bar-lounge crowd from their in- 
difference to the singer. 


Images tend to: change with he/she who views. 
Those who frequented the Mariposa of the Winnipeg folk 
festivals years ago were once penny-pinching New Left 
college students. Today they might sport trim beards, 
corduroy jackets(ties!) and drive Volvos or BMW's. - 
Their favorite folk artists make albums for Elektra, 
take the occasional forays into country-pop crossover 
and live in exclusive areas of Toronto, Los Angeles, 
or Nashville. 


The truth stretches from the one extreme scenario 
to the other, In the great inbetween, Canadian folk- 
singers are starting to become moderately prosperous. 


Folksingers, to be blunt, smartened up. They have 
become good independent businessmen. They've learned 
that with the right proportions of television, school, 
children, college and concert exposure it's possible 
to make a living comparable to other professionals. 
And they have learned that such a living can be made 
outside the glamours and pressures of the .star-marking 
machinery - the need for a string of hit records, the 
star status treatment, and the endless hard-core tour- 
ing to wherever an album is: selling. 


Edmonton's Paul Hann is married, has a child, owns 
a home in the city, and dabbles in real estate. No fan- 
cy inheritance, or $100,000 windfall royalty cheques 
have come his way. He's built up a loyal audience, and 
has discovered new audiences with time. 


Hann came to realize, a few years ago, one of the 
simpler truths about making a living asa solo performer. 
If you are a good entertainer, millicns of people out- 
side the major cities of Canada are happy to hear you. 


He has benefitted, as have hundreds of other West- 
ern Canadian folk performers, from programs designed by 
provincial governments to take entertainers into com- 
munities and schools. 


Folksingers discovered that governments hold show- 
cases for prospective talent-buyers through their res- 
pective provinces. In Alberta, Alberta Culture hosts 
a showcase every year, attended by hundreds of commun- 
ity groups - all looking for a good evenings entertain- 
ment. 


"The showcases have made a big difference for me 

and others in terms of steady work," says Hann, who 
through similar showcases in the Maritimes, Vancouver, 
and Toronto, has set up several cross-Canada tours. 
"I learned too that material designed for college aud- 
iences didn't always work for family audiences. I've 
learned to pick and choose material for whatever aud- 
ience I'm working for. That's one key to survival." 


Many folk-artists in the successful-but-not-star- 
dom class look at albums as a mixed blessing. Records 
are an absolute necessity - "they open up doors" - says 
Hann. But rarely does a folk artist ever make money 
back on a record. 


Here again, the Canadian folk artist has been 
honing his business instincts. Today folk artists 
don't camp on the doors of the major record labels, 
hoping to be the one hit wonders. They do it them- 
selves. : 


Pied Pear from Vancouver, for instance, have made 
four self-produced, self-financed; and self-distributed 
albums. From the beginning the duo decided that re- 
cord money was record money. Any income from records 
flogged with abandon on stage went right back into 
the recording kitty. Pied Pear can now make albums | 
with ‘budgets similar to those of major recording com- 
panies. Nobody tells them what to do, or can force 
Pied Pear to be something they do not wish to be. 


Hann, with song-writing partner Peter White, was 
one of the first folk artists in Canada to go the in- 
dependent route. "We'd moved to Toronto for nine months, 
and had toured the record companies with our demo tape. 
But after odd jobs, such as digging basements and mov— 
ing furniture, we-realized there wasn't much interest." 

Hann and White moved to Alberta, where an aspiring 
record producer, now chairman of the Folk Festival, 
Holger Petersen, helped Hann make his first album. 

"We borrowed from relatives, friends, made every pos- 
sible deal we could to keep costs down," says Hann. 
The album was leased to London Records. "Queen of 
the May" was Hann's first single to receive substan- 
tial airplay. Out of the Hann-White-Petersen colla- 
boration was born Stony Plain Records, a company still 
going strong in Edmonton. 


The album, says Hann, allowed him to play clubs 
which would only accept recording acts, to make guest 
appearances on television variety and talk shows. "An 
album", he says wryly, "gives you something to talk 
about. It all helps." 


Even the most successful record, i.e. a big hit 
album which sells 50,000 or more in Canada, can cause 
immense headaches for the folkie. Valdy, for instance, 
has made dozens cross-Canada tours. With a big hit 
album, he must rally round himself a band, a big PA 
system, transport, and a gruelling performance sched- 
ule to keep the juggernaut going. 


_ OO rrr pr 


Article 





When Valdy isn't "hot" enough to sustain concert ' 
hall shows he picks up his guitar, and ambles from 
coffee-house to coffee-house. He commands a handsome 
performance fee, but is unencumbered by the expensive 
trappings of fame. 


Folk Festivals bring together just about every 
artist working in the folk milieu. As soon as the 
summer festival circuit is complete, the artists split 
in many different directions. Most singers have their 
own particular niche - one or two audiences to which 
they relate well. 


An informal network has grown up in Canada, for 
instance, of concerts for women who offer as part of 
their repertoire songs about women. Heather Bishop, 
Ferron and Connie Kaldor all find a good portion of 
their work has come from an audience that relates as 
much to what they represent as for their entertain- 
ment value. 

When Heather Bishop tours Canada from her base in 
Woodmore, Manitoba, she packs her van with a sound sys- 
tem, microphones and the works. It's more efficient, 
because the womens’ groups who often sponsor her con- 
certs are not experienced in the technical end of con- 
certizing. 


As folk musicians become more experienced, they tend 
to open up to different audiences. Hann has discovered 
much to his own delight, that he's good with children. 
"When I go into a- community for a concert, I often try 
to arrange for a children's concert that same after- 
noon." He's now looking at the possibility of making 
a children's album this fall. 


Hann, now an 11 year veteran as a full-time music- 
ian, has seen several other musicians like, himself make 
giant strides in their careers, without becoming house- 
hold names. "At one time David Essig, Stan: Rogers and 
I were more-or-less playing the same coffee-house cir- 
cuits". 


"We've all become financially stable. 
made a fortune, but we're comfortable." 


Nobody has 


"And we've all grown so much. Everyone has become 
better, more mature song-writers. We're more confident 
in what we do, after all the experience we've had. We're 
more aware of what we need to do to relate to our aud- 
iences."

ON FESTIVALS 
by Stan Rogers 


One bitterly cold night in 1963, shortly after 
my thirteenth birthday, I sat in the upstairs room of 
a coffee-house, amazed at what I was hearing. Three 
professional musicians sat there for.hours, trading 
songs and stories, and teaching each other new licks. 
My first store-bought guitar sat forsaken in my lap, 
and I was too young, and impressed, to open my mouth. 
But it was wonderful. I remember: at the time think- 
ing that some day I'd get a chance to share music that 
way - just. sitting there, playing songs, telling-sto- 
ries, and explaining how I do the things I do. 


Festivals are like that. 


Festivals are much more than simply a series of 
open-air concerts. They are even more than an oppor- 
tunity for musicians to get together and get brought 
up to date, though musicians often claim, with a grin, 
that festivals exist so that they can meet all their 
old buddies, get paid, and eat and drink for free. 
Festivals are really an opportunity for the tongue-tied 
thirteen year old to see close up just how that lick 
is played; for the aspiring singer to learn new meth- 
ods of voice production; for the songwriter to see and 
hear up close just how the songs affect the listener; 
and most of all, for people to meet one another in a 
moment where nothing else matters but the joy of mak- 
ing and sharing music together. 


Festivals are the end of the long road from that 
upstairs room to now, and if I no longer resemble the 
thirteen year old kid in the corner, I remember how 
he felt, and if I meet him this weekend, I'll know how 
to talk to him. Festivals are my best opportunity to 
give back all I've learned, with thanks.

Performers 





Peter Alsop 


Many of us sing in: the bathtub but PETER ALSOP does it much 
better. Many of the songs he sings are his own, in which 
he\ expresses his quizzical and often comic view of the world. 
ALSOP is particularly concerned with the relations(sexual 
and other) between men and women, and often approaches the 
whimsical satire of a James Thurber cartoon. His serious 
ballads are good too, whether sung in the bathtub or out. 


Kevin Burke & Michael O’Domhanaill 


The innovative arrangements of traditional material by the 
great Bothy Band marked a turning point in Irish music. 
KEVIN and MICHAEL, two of the key members of the Bothy Band, 
had no small role in that evolution. KEVIN stands out as 
one of the most illustrious of today's Irish fiddlers; MI- 
CHAEL, with his superb guitar styling and strong vocals, 
compliments his partner admirably. Sure and begorrah! 


Bim 

One of Canada's finest_singer-songwriters, BIM left his 
home in Dawson Creek in the early 70's to move to Vancou- 
ver. BIM's voice is one of his most noticable and, remark- 
able features. It's said to be a "curious cross between 
nasal insecurity of a Neil Young and the confident swagger : : 
of a Jackie Wilson."' BIM is completely charming - creative PETER ALSOP 
and instantly appealing. He has three outstanding albums 

to his credit and is currently working on a new release. 





Heather Bishop 


A singer-songwriter with strong prairie roots, HEATHER BISHOP 
takes her audience from heart-rending blues songs to contem- 
porary folk music - raising many political issues along the 
way. She plays guitar and piano to accompany her strong and 
warm voice and her equally warm personal ambiance always comes 
through. HEATHER has recorded two excellent albums for her 
own Mother of Pearl Records. 


Ken Bloom 


KEN BLOOM has become somewhat of a Canadian festival insti- 
tution. Not long ago KEN was a very successful studio mu- 
sician recording sound tracks for television shows, inclu- 
ding Mod Squad and the Monkees. ‘Then one day he decided 

to return to his first love - folk music. There's little 
about American, European, Near Eastern and Indian music 
that he doesn't know. KEN builds and plays many of his own 
instruments —- guitar, bandura, sax, tamboura, banjo, clar- 
inet, dulcimer, mandolin, zither, sitar and probably any 
instrument you hand him. 


Margaret Christ] 


Originally from Scotland, MARGARET maintains a strong de- 
-votion to her homeland's traditional music. She possesses 
a superb singing voice that breathes new life and vigor in- 
to her music. She is one of the very few tradional singers 
to record Canadian folk songs. Making her home in Toronto, 
MARGARET has been a regular performer at Folk Festivals 
across North America.

Cirque Alexandre 


Anita Couvrette and Paul Hoosen comprise CIRQUE ALEXANDRE, 
a professional and bilingual clown troupe, styled along 
the lines of European circuses of the past. Founded in 
1977, the company has toured extensively in Canada, from 
Newfoundland to the Yukon and North West Territories as 
well as participating in major festivals in Ontario, Que- 
bec, and the Maritimes. The company performs original ma- 
terial designed to draw one and all into a colorful world

Beverly Cotten 


A former member of the Green Grass Cloggers, BEVERLY COT- 
TEN is now doing a solo turn as a dancer, singer, and ban- 
jo picker extraordinaire. BEVERLY is a walking-talking 
encyclopedia of mountain music of the Appalachians, where 
she's spent time learning mountain songs and dances from 
Willard Watson and Tommy Jarrell. You'll get the benefit. 


Ferron 


FERRON has long been a cult figure in Vancouver's coffee 
houses. She has devoted herself to music since the age 
of 18 and has developed into a skillful, and devastating- 
ly perceptive songwriter. Since 1977 FERRON has recorded 
three albums for her own Lucy Records. 'Testimony", re- CIRQUE ALEXANDRE 
leased last year through Lucy/Stony Plain, has received 
international acclaim. FERRON's compositions are current- 
ly being performed by Stringband, Sweet Honey In The Rock 
and Holly Near. A performer not to be missed. 





Ma Fletcher 


MA FLETCHER is one of those few artists who is involved in 
several artistic media and is able to make his living from 
the juxtaposition of all of them. In Toronto, he was known 
as the legendary 'Mother Fletcher', for his wine-making 
abilities, and is now known as a guitar teacher, folk per- 
former, song-writer, sitarist, art photographer, and col- 
umnist. MA is one of the best known folk guitar instructors 
in Edmonton. Watch for his instructional workshops at the 
Festival this year. 


Don Freed 


DON's professional life may be a litany of ups and downs 
and a lot of comfortable spots in-between, but his talent 
has provided the drive to keep him going. He has appeared 
with Johnny Cash in Johnny Cash: The Man, His World, His 
Music, he's released an album and he's spent a lot of time 
on stage. DON's not only an expressive singer-songwriter, 
he's also an experienced actor. 


Peter Gzowski 


PETER is a media personality. He doesn't sing or dance or 
play a musical instrument + at least not on stage - but as 
the concert stage host he provides warm and amusing intro- DON FREED 
ductions for the performers. PETER holded up in Edmonton 

one summer to write a book. In the works is a book on hock- 

ey about the Edmonton Oilers and Wayne Gretzky.

Performers 





Paul Hann 


Edmonton singer, songwriter and guitarist Paul Hann has de- 
veloped into one of this country's finest entertainers. 

Paul develops a warm and humorous rapport with his audience 
that makes him a success wherever he appears. As a child- 
ren's performer, Paul appears on the album ‘Icecream Sneakers' 
and will soon be recording another. Paul has recorded another 
five albums of folk, country, comedy and bluegrass. 


Andrij Hornjatkevyk 


Performing for almost 30 years, ANDRIJ has gained respect 
as a virtuoso of the Ukrainian Bandura. His interpretation 
of traditional Ukrainian music is both vibrant and inspir- 
ing. ANDRIJ's skills as a vocalist and as a competent in- 
strument maker add another dimension to his performance. 
Thank you, Ken Bloom, for introducing us to ANDRIJ. 


Vera Johnson 


VERA JOHNSON is a regular on the British, Canadian, and 
American folk music circuit. Her North American gigs in- 
clude all of Canada's better folk clubs and folk festivals 
and Unitarian churches everywhere. VERA performs origin- 
al songs about every-day topics - politics, divorce, sex, 
food, etiquette, her family history or anything else she 
thinks of interest culled from the news and world around 
her. 





lan Johnstone 


Singer and storyteller IAN JOHNSTONE doesn't travel alone 
- his companion is a 20-foot hairy monster with slobbery 
green teeth. Fortunately for you, the monster is only a 

_ story-book character but IAN is. very real and very enter- 
taining, whether he's singing or telling a story or just 
being his amusing self. The Vancouver performer has ap- 
peared in hundreds of west coast schools where his songs 
and stories have become a new generation's favorites. His 
imagination has also made him a favorite among adult aud- 
iences too. 


Connie Kaldor 


Since the release of CONNIE's first solo album, 'One of 
These Days’, last December she's become one of this coun- 
try's busiest performers. Connie is a major talent who 
reflects the prairies in much of her work. Her music has 
recently been released on two compilation albums: ‘Icecream 
Sneakers', a children's album and "In The Dawning’, a story 
of Canada. Welcome back Connie! 


Su Chong Lim 

Once described as "Singapore's gift to Alberta Folkies", 
SU-CHONG LIM has been quietly wowing a rapidly expanding 
Alberta audience for the past couple of years. His de- 
ceptively low-key approach spontaneously combines his own KAI i 
personal experiences, sensitivity, irreverent humour and wee ie POR 
an odd mix of songs that has had audiences singing, cry- 

ing, laughing and clamouring for more.

Lost In The Colonies 


Luke Wilson, Maggie McKaig, Ron Casat, and Scott Sheerin

resembles a music shop. We're looking forward to the ma- 
ny pleasant surprises these folks have been planning for 
us during the past few days. 


Pattie B. MacDonald 


As a young school girl, PATTIE signed up for Irish Danc- 
ing lessons thinking it was Highland Dancing. It didn't 
take long to get "hooked' and PATTIE has now been Irish 
Dancing for 15 years. At the age of 18 she moved to To- 
ronto to study Irish Dancing seriously and has since at-_ 
tended four World Championships in Dublin, Ireland. She 
now makes her home in Edmonton. 


Joan MaclIsaac 


JOAN MACISAAC preents a captivating blend of musical art- 
istry, freely moving from her own expression to unique in- 
terpretations of popular folk songs. Her original works 
reflect her life and experiences, her awareness of pain and 
her pleasure in friendships. JOAN's musicality brings her 
ideas to life, blending fine guitar work with her strong 
vocal range. Now living in Edmonton, she has performed to 
enthusiastic audiences and critical acclaim across Canada 
in concert, at coffee-houses and festivals. 


Big Dave MacLean 


DAVE MCLEAN, Winnipeg's best known blues performer, accom-

banjo, button accordion, guitar, mandolin, piano, and feet. 
Their music is Canadian. It is native-born songs and tunes, 
and the musical traditions of the British Isles that we have 
made our own. "You haven't really visited Upper Canada 
until you've seen MUDDY YORK!" 


Odetta 


Before anyone had ever heard of Bob Dylan, before Woodstock, 
even before beatniks, folk music had Odetta. And now that 
Dylan wears a tux, Woodstock is just an old movie and beat- 
niks are a faded memory, there's still Odetta. She has 
been a folk music singer for 32 years, and her soulful in- 
terpretations of work songs, prison songs and traditional 
folk fare have been praised from the day she picked up her 
guitar in 1949. ODETTA is a contemporary singer in love 
with life, involved with life and not dependent on the past.

Performers 





Tom Paley 


Mathematician TOM PALEY has been at the forefront of the 
urban folk revivalist movement of the fifties and sixties. 
Long associated with the Seegers, Mike and Peggy, he has 
recorded a catalogue-full of Appalachian Mountain songs, 
both on his own and with other musicians. A former member 
of the New Lost City Ramblers, TOM exposed millions of peo- 
ple to traditional music during the past three decades. 

His banjo style is inspirational and his influence is ev- 
ident in many songs done by John Sebastian and the Lovin' 
Spoonful. 


Tom Paxton 


Born in Chicago and raised in Oklahoma, TOM toured on the 
coffee house circuit in the folksong revival of the 60's 
and just kept on going. TOM has written some classic ma-’ 
terial including, as he refers to them, campfire songs. 
His best known compositions include "The Last Thing On My 
Mind", "Ramblin Boy", and "Wasn't That a Party". A mas- 
ter weaver and performer. 


Pied Pear 


Experience New Wave Folk "in the best tradition of Rodgers 
and Hammerstein, Shirley Temple and Bojangles, Abbott and 
Costello". Rick Scott plays dulcimer, Joe Mock plays piano 
and guitar - and what they do with voice and instrument has 
to be seen and heard to be believed. One of the highlights 
of last year's Festival. 


Fred Penner 

A Winnipegger of aehre Songs stock, FRED PENNER began his mu- 
sical career*singing "Cruisin' Down the River" while cross- 
ing the serpent-like mighty Assiniboine River in a bus in 
1952. Chois, musical comedy(Gilbert and Sullivan and the 
like), regional theatre productions, Winnipeg's Rainbow 
Stage, coffee-houses and the lounge circuit have expanded 
FRED's musical horizons. The fdérmer member of Kornstalk, 

a group of merry mayhem-makers and variety stylists, FRED 
plays guitar, flute, harp, piano and jew's harp. He also 
does bird calls and car imitations. These talents, com- 
bined with FRED's delight for seas ati make for an enter- 
taining experience. 





Jim Post 


JIM POST's performances have been called everything from 
"courageous" to "devastating". His incredible abundance TOM PALEY 
of energy has earned him the title of “a dynamo in the u- 
niverse". But what this Grammy and Emmy nominee does best 
is sing like no one else. With nine albums to his credit, 
JIM POST brings with him on stage a musical virtuosity sel- 
dom seen. From the up-beat "I Love My Life" to the sweet 
"Louella Rainwater" to the acappella "Dancing in the Wind", 
JIM POST holds his audience captive - for as long as he 
likes. Many people can sing a song, but few, like POST, 
can breathe them.

Performers 





Randy Raine-Reusch 


RANDY is one of North America's most versatile dulcimer 
players. His style spans a wide musical spectrum from 
traditional folk to semi-classical and contemporary jazz. 
In concert he supplements his dulcimer performances with 
selections on the khaen, a traditional bamboo reed instru- 
ment from Thailand. RANDY has enthusiastically been called 
"The Ravi Shankar of the Dulcimer" by Uncle Don. 


River City Ramblers 


This quintet got together for informal picking sessions a- 
bout a year ago. But it didn't take Jim McNulty, mandolin, 
Bob Remington, guitar, Mike Sadava, bass, Amelia Kaminsky, 
fiddle, and Craig Korth, five-string banjo, to realize they 
liked.the lure of the stage and the crowds. As one thing 
leads to another the quintet found itself playing on the 
same bill as the Dillards and Tom See. They caused quite 

a sensation too. It seems people who came to their perfor- 
Mances were always expecting "free beer and chitken". 


Stan Rogers 


STAN's styles range from easy and mellow to dynamic and dra- 
matic. His voice has been described as powerful, smooth, 
and self-controlled. STAN is considered one of Canada's 
best folk-poets. With his brother Garnet(violin, flute, 
guitar), STAN has covered thousands of miles as a perfor- 
mer. He has four excellent albums to his credit. 


The Romaniuk Family 

Influenced by the material of the great Carter Family since 
the thirties, THE ROMANIUK FAMILY grew up with guitars in 
their hands and Carter Family songs in their hearts. Num- 
erous public performances at festivals, in concert, on ra- 
dio and TV have dotted their part-time musical career. THE 
ROMANIUKs have five albums to their credit to date. Not 
bad for a school teacher and his family from Edson! 





RANDY RAINE-REUSCH 


Tom See 


TOM SEE took up the guitar at the age of 13 and since that 
time he's rarely laid it aside long enough for even one 
spec of dust to settle on the instrument. TOM has trav- 
elled far and wide and has shared the stage with musicians 
like Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, John Lee Hooker and T. 
Bone Walker. Earlier this year he shared the stage with 
George Thorogood right here in Edmonton, where Tom is now 
making his home. 


The Shamrock Players 

THE SHAMROCK PLAYERS are a brand new theatre group based 

in Edmonton. Their goal is to bring theatre to the people 
- not just the elite: "We want everyone in Edmonton to 
know what a fantastic thing theatre is.'! Watch for their 
comedies and more serious productions taken from well known 
writers in theatre circles. Theatre lives again!

Performers 





Rick Scott 


RICK '"Jumbles" SCOTT. steps out of his role as the PIED half 
of PEAR to assist with emcee duties on this year's mainstage. 
Among his many other talents, RICK is a creative dulcimer 
virtuoso and instrument maker. His histrionics have both 
delighted festival audiences and won him acclaim throughout 
western Canada as an audience energizer. 


Doc Myles Snow & His Traveling Show 


DOC and his friends make their home in Faust, Alberta. DOC 
has been a longtime favorite among children(young and old) 
with his clowning, face painting, performing magic, fire- 
eating, and making music. Don't miss DOC and his friends 
on our>children's stage on Sunday. 


Lyall Steel 


LYALL STEEL is a self-taught guitarist with a strong found- 
ation in classical, flamenco, and other folkloric discip- 
lines. This Moosejaw native, now residing in Edmonton, 
composes a genuinely different music for the guitar which 
has found universal acceptance. Go get ‘em, Lyall! 


Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee 


Ambassadors of the blues, SONNY and BROWNIE have travelled 
the world spreading their music, a product of lifetime ex- 
perience, as music and as reality. SONNY was blinded in 
two separate childhood mishaps and BROWNIE was left with 
one leg shorter than the other after a bout with polio. 
SONNY and BROWNIE both knew the blues before they knew each 
other; SONNY cutting his teeth as Blind Boy Fuller's accom- 
panist, BROWNIE learning his blues from his father. Both DIAMOND JOE WHITE 
were drawn to New York by the post-war movement interest 

in folk music. Their records and public appearances since 

then have gained them a following that to this day has not 

diminished. Probably more than any other bluesmen, SONNY 

and BROWNIE were the first blues artists heard by thousands 

of whites. i 





Jesse Winchester 


JESSE WINCHESTER was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, but was 
discovered in Canada circa 1970 by the Band's Robbie Robert- 
son, who produced JESSE's now-legendary first album, "JESSE 
WINCHESTER". The album included such classics as "Yankee 
Lady'' and ''Brand New Tennessee Waltz". During the past doz- 
en years, JESSE has received critical praise thoughout the 
world. His simple lyrics and sentimental point of view 
tempered by a sense of humor, as one critic put it, provide 
a rich emotional impact. This marks JESSE's first-ever 
festival appearance and we're very ‘pleased and honored to 
have him here. 


Diamond Joe White 


There are many different kinds of legends, DIAMOND JOE WHITE 
is the oil field grassroots variety. JOE and his band have 
backed Valdy on a coast to coast tour and played on Valdy's 
"Family Gathering" album(two of JOE's songs were included 

on the album). DIAMOND JOE.is playing authentic country 
music, but his is more like a diamond in the rough than an 
uptown rhinestone cowboy.

I get to thinking our 

Love's a polished stone 

You give me a long drawn look 
I know pretty soon 

You’re gonna leave our home 
And of course I mind 

Especially when I’m 

Thinking from my heart 

But life don’t clickety-clack

You say you hope I’m not the kind 
To make you feel obliged

A cabin and a backwoods trail 
And I think that’s great 


Me I seem to find myself in school 


It’s all okay 

I just want to say 
I’m'so relieved 

We didn’t do it cruel

all the: generators, keeping all the engines humming like a dream. 


What the boys don’t want, can’t have, won’t want, We go to the Arabs running up the big tabs. 
Don’t want anybody getting power from the sun. Paying through-the nose till the hose runs dry. 

No way to hold tight, corner all the sunlight, Arab rears back, buys another Cadillac, 

Wrap it up and sell it, yes, and charge everyone. Shading his eyes from the sun in the sky. 
Everyday it rises inthe skies, you can bet on it. Hook up the sunlight, tell the Arab good night. 
You can set a watch by it happens every time. You don’t need a pipeline, you don’t need a spout. 
Shines on the poor folks, my folks, your folks, No way to lose it once you learn to use it. 

Rises every morning and it doesn’t cost a dime. You got yourself a power that will never run out. 
And that to the hustlers is a crime. Now you can allow yourself a shout.

WANNA BUY A RECORD? 


by Silvio Dobri(The Edmonton Journal) 
The music world is an illogical world. 
both flat and round. 


It is 


It's a world where stardom often looks fast and 
easy, but it rarely is. 


No one has ever become an over-night sensation 
- even the Beatles flogged a demo before they were 
signed to Capitol-EMI and actually handled the sale 
of their first single on their own. So even the great-— 
est have to pay their dues. 


Getting to the top of the music scene - folk, 
blues, jazz, rock or pop - requires a mixture of stra- 
tegy and hard work. 


In the case of the more popular performers it re- 
quires strategy and the creative efforts of an entire 
army of faceless people - artists and reportoire men, 
Managers, sonwriters, producers, promoters, record 
company executives, publicists and the media. 


Getting to the top can also be’ a one-man/one wo- 
man effort, as is the case with many of the musicians 
performing at the Edmonton Foik Music Festival. 


Stan Rogers, Bim, Heather Bishop, Don Freed, Fer- 
ron, Connie Kaldor, Pied Pear, Lyall Steel, Houndog, 
David Essig, Dan Donahue, and countless others, too 
numerous to mention, have gone it alone. 


They form their own labels - Bushleague Records, 
Squash Records, Coyote Records, Viper Records, Wood- 
shed Records, and Likeable Records. They also produce 
their albums, design the covers, and most important 
of all, they sell the records right out of their car 
trunk at festival sites like this one. 


Sometimes they get lucky and find someone with 
money to back them, leaving the singer-songwriters 
free to perform and sell albums. But even this kind’ 
of luck has a price. 


The musicians who go it alone are sometimes hope- 
ful the big record companies will show some interest 
in their records. Even it it's just for a distribu- 
tion deal. ‘ 


Sometimes artists will rely on an independent dis- 
tributor - someone who has no contractual ties to its 
own stable of performers - to get their albums to music 
stores. 


Proper distribution, undoubtedly the weakest link 
in the one-person operation, can make or break a prom- 
ising career. But the dedicated singer-songwriters 
are not discouraged by this. 


The folk festivals and concerts produced and pro- 
moted by. the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, for instance, 
provide the performers with a year round audience con- 
tract and a record-selling outlet for artists with an 
armload of albums. Support them. 


Memories 





1980 EDMONTON FOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL 





Discography 





Folk Festivals traditionally last for only one weekend 
--a very special three days of music, camaraderie, and 
fun. But after the festival is over, it seems a long 

time ‘till next summer when you might hear your favor- 
ite performer again.

In an attempt to stave off some of that music withdraw- 
al, we have compiled a Discography of some of the al- 
bums available by performers featured at Edmonton this 
‘year. Unfortunately, some of the albums are hard to 
obtain and some may be out of print.- Undoubtedly we 
have probably missed a few as well.
